What Wren does here
11.3% of applications here are refused.
Oldham decided 827 applications in the reporting year, and refused about 11.3% of them. A refusal is usually a document problem rather than a scheme problem: the policy that governs it was not addressed, or the evidence it asks for was not there.
Wren drafts against this authority's own plan, a chartered planner reads the draft and signs it under their own indemnity, and a case manager files it and chases it. A householder application is £499, and Oldham's own statutory fee is separate and paid by you directly to them.
